Female, Adult

Jefferson, WI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

1 year old (estimated) Spayed Female 46 lbs. No known experience with other dogs, cats, or kids Cali is an energetic and lively-spirited girl who brings joy wherever she goes. She absolutely loves spending time outdoors, whether she’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or simply exploring her surroundings with endless curiosity. Cali thrives on activity and adventure, always ready for the next game or outing. When she’s not busy burning off her energy, she’s soaking up all the attention she can get—because to Cali, there’s nothing better than being loved on by her favorite people. Cali has been waiting a while to find her family, so her adopters can name their own adoption fee when they take her home! The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.April 27, 2026, 9:24 am
